Highs and Lows

May 24, 2013

highsandlows
I have begun to realize that writing  a weekly post like this can be difficult. Thinking back to what your highest and lowest moments of the week were can be tricky. Therefore, I have decided that I am going to start writing them down. This way I can have both a visual reference of the moments and a journal to look back and reflect on. This week has been filled with many highs that must be mentioned. For starters, Dinner at Cha Baa Thai  (amazing) with the work ladies followed by a great night of hockey and beer at Bubba Rays. Next, my sisters, who never cease to make me smile, ran out onto the balcony when I left the apartment and shouted “BYE, WE LOVE YOU”, once I was outside (melt my heart). Finally, a girl from work brought in a little pick me up for all the work ladies, cheesecake cupcakes from Broadway Cheesecake, that came at just the right moment.

Here are the rest of my highs, and a few of my low’s of the week, enjoy your weekend!

-Silly arguments that can be avoided.

Spring into Summer

May 23, 2013

Getting ready to transition into summer, especially in Halifax, can be quite a daunting task. Especially when the weather here can be so unpredictable (sunny one minute and foggy the next). So I have rounded up the perfect spring essentials that will take you into summer like a breeze (a warm summer breeze that is.)

theblondielockspost2SPRINGESSENTIALSThe Printed T-shirt Blouse: Perfect for spring days and summer nights, the printed t-shirt blouse in a silk material is breathable and stylish.  Try it in unexpected print like this Snake print Equipment blouse 

The Distressed Skinny: Easily paired with an ankle strap sandal or rolled up with the classic converse sneaker, these jeans are your go-to spring/summer denim. Try a distressed version to give your look a little more of an effortless appearance. Current/Elliot Stiletto Skinny Jean

The Cut-out Bootie: One of my new favorite trends for spring/summer. Is it a heel? Is it a bootie? Who cares, it’s so chic! Pair with your favorite shorts, maxi dress or skirt!  (Similar) Dolce Vita Bootie

The Delicate Bangle: Perfect for stacking or wearing on its own, a delicate bangle can easily be worn with anything from playing up a t-shirt and jeans to toning down a cocktail dress. This Tai bangle especially is beautiful for summer, with the ocean blue color that is sure to stand out against tanned skin. Tai Asymmetrical Pave Stone Cuff

The Cross-Body Bag: The cross body bag should be your go to for busy summers at your local farmers market to dinner with your girl friends. This Rebecca Minkoff is the perfect shape for all of your essentials and your camera, how cute is that!? Rebecca Minkoff: Collin Camera Bag

 

Getting Shifty

May 22, 2013

Layering is one of those things that can be tricky. Either looking really great, or ending up looking and feeling really bulky. Start with the basics, putting a denim shirt over a simple shift dress looks cute, but buttoning (in my case zippering) it to the top makes a bolder statement. The dress suddenly becomes more skirt-like and adds a bit of a flirty element. Go a step further and add a spring blazer in a cotton material. This one is great because it has a striped lining that gives the look some dimension through print (similar here). The weather this day was perfect for showing some leg but still covering up on top. My sister and I took advantage of the sun setting and shot these pictures that turned out beautifully with the sun flares. You can check out her website here and her Flickr here
